Southampton boss Russell Martin says the 3-0 scoreline was unfair after their FA Cup Fifth Round defeat at Liverpool.
Jayden Danns scored twice and Lewis Koumas also struck for the Reds win.
Martin said, "I don't think it was a fair reflection, we had the better chances and we could have been 2-0 up before they even got close to our goal. It was more than promise, we showed some real bravery and they should have ended up in goals.
"The big frustration is that we lost and especially 3-0. The difference is the quality and finishing. It is composure and their keeper made some amazing chances.
"I've said the players should be really proud of themselves but we've got to score in those moments. I'm incredibly proud, I am frustrated that we lost and I thought it was an amazing chance to progress, but we haven't done it.
"I'll take that performance and if we are to lose, I want to lose playing our way. If we play like that for the rest of the season we'll be more than fine."
